This is still sitting in my living room since December 29th, unassembled because Im annoyed with it. When they showed up I noticed there was some shedding in the packaging. Upper midrange has a small presence boost to bring the vocals and instruments a bit forward and increase the perception of clarity in that region and thankfully it?s not overly done to introduce too much harshness or sibilance to the mix. In the future, I would strongly recommend users do not order through Amazon and order direct from manufacturer, as there are too many knock offs that are either poor quality or doesnt fit on the head set it state it does. This is the best seat cushion I have tried, and I have tried them all! They were surprisingly sturdy. I?m so looking forward to all my summer trips. Hubby is an audiophile nut job and I cant begin to state how much money he has spent on cans over the years. ) within a few days. Heres the biggest issue.
